Here are some of the problems I am facing:

  • Screen freezes when taking a grenade in hand and keep pressed the left click to release later - pressing some other button to change weapon releases the freeze (freq: sometimes)
  • Weapon fire is a bit slow. Gives the feeling of a lag and is not as smooth as it ought to be (I used to play on Windows and playing on Mac without any tweaks/changes) (freq: always)
  • Pressing space bar to change the, stuck, view mode crashed. https://gist.github.com/amarendra/4728231 (freq: thrice)
  • Right click deactivates automatically while in game. Have to go change it in OPTIONS > Keyboard > Defaults > Apply/OK to activate again. (freq: sometimes)
  • Clicks are fatally slow and inconsistent and often result in deaths (freq: always)
  • Lag. There's a constant lag it seems which is not because of network. Tried several times in windows on same network connection. Even latency shown is very good. (freq: always)
  • Starts moving right wise on its own while in game. Have to disconnect to fix. I saw and now key was pressed either on my Mac's inbuilt keyboard or external keyboard. (freq: thrice)
  • Counter Strike 1.6 (hl_osx) crashed just on start. - https://gist.github.com/amarendra/4728252 (freq: twice)

++issues:

  • Tried to join a server and after map was downloaded the entry was refused with some error message which I couldn't see as it crashed immediately. Here's the crash report: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1632203/

The two crashes were fixed by todays update.

I am still experiencing issue 4 and it's so frequent that I think I should have rather mentioned "always".
And yes always issues as in general lag and inconsistent clicks are there too.

The release today should fix both the crashes.

I can confirm issue 2 - However I think this might be an issue on Mac OS, since this also happens in other games aswell. There seems to be no fix for it in-game or OS wise.

Regarding issue 6, I can confirm this too. Even other players notice my lag and ask for my rates, which is
cl_cmdrate 101; rate 25000; cl_updaterate 101; fps_max 101

I have no problems on Windows — using Bootcamp — regarding those two issues.

@Humanoidism
I did gl_vsync "0" and didn't have slow click or general lag after that except on few occasions. Not sure that fixed it or what.

Aalfred-valve maintainer 2013-02-11 github

Having vsync on can caused perceived input lag (google that one, lots of thoughts on the issue), so let us call that solved. Closing this grab bag report out, reopen individual bugs if items persist.

Experienced again: Screen freezes when taking a grenade in hand and keep pressed the left click to release later - pressing some other button to change weapon releases the freeze (freq: sometimes)

@amarendra would you make a new bug just for that issue please. It’s far easier to track fixes as separate items.
